[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 20428, member: 1550"] It sounds like you think he has AS. He sounds like he does. That's not denial. Get him into interventions and help him. AS kids can be brilliant, but they often have to learn differently. They also are helped a lot by social skills classes and life skills (like teaching him how to change his clothes). He may not know how. If he had any speech delays he may have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified rather than AS. It's a fine distinction and requires the same interventions. One thing the child shouldn't be is not given help. The earlier they get Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interventions, the better the overall prognosis for adulthood. Denial helps nobody and really hurts the child! My son had interventions starting in infancy and it really shows! But it's not too late. [/QUOTE]
